To mark the Easter Triduum, as a school community Cerdon College gathered in the Assembly Area on Wednesday for our Easter liturgy.
The Year 9 Drama class enacted various elements of the Passion of Christ which aided in providing a reverent atmosphere for the occasion.
We reflected upon the significance of the resurrection and prayed as a community.
The students were thanked for all of their efforts throughout Lent as they supported Project Compassion. Many classes engaged in fund raising initiatives that ensured that Cerdon could make a sizeable contribution to Caritas.
Our final prayer at the Liturgy:
God our Father, by raising Christ your Son
you conquered the power of death and opened for us the way to eternal life.
Let our celebrations this Easter season raise us up and renew our lives
by the Spirit that is within us.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Cerdon College was proud to welcome schools from across Sydney for the preliminary round of the UN Youth EVATT Competition. The day showcased the remarkable talent, critical thinking, and diplomacy of students as they stepped into the role of delegates representing members of the United Nations Security Council. It was great to see our girls engaging in a thoughtful and insightful debate, speaking confidently, negotiating resolutions and working collaboratively with other teams. It was also wonderful to welcome back Krista, an ex-student who, after her experiences at Cerdon, is now giving back as part of the UN Youth Staff. Congratulations to the students who participated for their efforts and enthusiasm. We wish you all the very best for the rest of the competition.

Today on the 31st of May, we celebrated the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary set out “in haste” into the hill country, carrying within her the joy of God’s promise. On this Feast of the Visitation (Lk 1:39–42), we remember her journey to Elizabeth and the holy encounter of two mothers - two lives, two promises, one moment of grace. When Mary greets Elizabeth, the child in Elizabeth’s womb leaps for joy, and the Holy Spirit fills the house with praise. In this meeting, Christ is already bringing joy, even before His birth, and God’s plan of salvation begins to unfold in hidden, powerful ways. Mary shows us what it means to listen to God and respond without delay: to carry Jesus not only in her womb, but in her life of service, courage, and love. Her haste is not anxiety, but love in motion, a faith that moves toward others. As we reach the end of May, the month dedicated to Mary, we are invited to learn from her “yes”: to bring Christ into the world through acts of charity, humility, and joyful service. “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” (Lk 1:42) May we, like Mary, carry Christ to others - so that our lives also become a Magnificat of praise.

National Reconciliation Week takes place each year from 27 May to 3 June. It is a time for all Australians to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, reflect on our shared history, and continue building respectful relationships grounded in truth, justice and healing. The 2026 theme, “All In,” calls on all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation each day and to actively take steps to make a difference. Our Cerdon formation goal reminds us that unity means respecting one another. Reconciliation invites us to listen deeply, honour the dignity of every person, and value the stories and experiences of First Nations peoples. The theme "All In" challenges each of us to play our part through our words and actions.

Today, we held the second match of the Staff v Year 12 Students Shield, with both teams facing off in soccer. While the staff came away with a 4–1 victory, it was a hard-fought contest with plenty of skill, determination, and great sportsmanship on display throughout the game. It was also fantastic to see so many students from across the school coming out to support and create such a positive atmosphere.
